Description
PrimeCarers connects self‑employed visiting carers with families in East Dulwich and the surrounding parts of Southwark. These are daytime, hourly home care opportunities: short visits to support personal care, meal preparation, medication prompts and errands so people can stay safe and independent at home. You set your own rates and choose the clients and hours that suit you.
Right now, 228 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.
This style of work suits experienced carers who want more control than agency shifts allow. You’ll take daytime calls — often an hour or two — helping with personal care, getting someone ready, preparing meals, prompting medicines, light shopping and short errands. Visits are focused, respectful and tailored to each person’s needs. East Dulwich clients range from people needing a few hours a week to those looking for regular daytime support.
Pay is set by you as a self‑employed carer: many carers on the platform work within £18.80–£20 per hour depending on duties and experience. Because you set your own price, you can choose work that fits your life and your goals.
- Typical duties: helping with washing and dressing, continence support, meal prep, mealtime support, medication prompting, companionship and short errands.
- Work pattern: daytime, hourly visits. You pick the hours and the clients you accept.
- Service area: primarily East Dulwich and nearby neighbourhoods including Peckham Rye, Dulwich, Nunhead, Herne Hill, Peckham and Denmark Hill.
PrimeCarers takes care of the admin so you can focus on care. We find clients, manage contracts, handle invoicing and payments, and provide insurance while you’re on visits. That means fewer calls to the office and more time with the people you support in East Dulwich and across Southwark.
To join you'll need at least one year of professional care experience, an Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this), the right to work in the UK and verifiable references. Applying takes minutes and many profiles go live within days of verification, so you can be up and runnning quickly.
If you’re ready to move away from the agency rota and reclaim your time, PrimeCarers gives you the tools to do that in East Dulwich. Create your profile, set your rates, and choose the clients and hours that fit your life. Apply now — it’s a straightforward process and we’ll support you every step of the way.
